God is a designer. 

            We're His works of art.

I know the saying is "joy comes in the morning" but i have experienced my morning to be mourning. It is through our mourning and trials that we tend to be used the best because we reach a point where things become out of our control and we adopt a humble spirit that says "I give up trying to do it my way" or " God I need you I can't do this alone" or we notice that we are too weak to do it with our own strength.

I have come to this point numerous of times in order to get back on track of following God's plan. Think about it pride comes before the fall. God allows us to fall so we can rely on Him and humble ourself. It is a form of correction.

I challenge you to rethink and set your thoughts on "Lord, what are you trying to teach me in this very moment" "what are you revealing to me" We have to get rid of playing the victim. Victims hold a connotation of being weak. That is not the case for you God made you more than a conqueror. Champions know that they win every time so don't look at the pain as an agent that is going to kill you. Keep praying, praising, worshipping, and pressing forward because God is birthing something you just have to be strong enough (this strength comes from your mind) to endure and perservere!

I am a living testimony that through your mourning, trials, temptations, and opposition you will experience great joy after enduring and perservering. These are only signs of birthing pains and you must stay strong and push. Fighting your enemy can take a toll on you my enemy happened to be my inner me, which were seeds of doubt, fear, and a spirit that would cause me to become timid.How to overcome these things? Prayer!!!!!! Praise!!!!! Worship!!!! READING THE BIBLE!!!! It is vital to know what God says to release words of truth over yourself and I found that I was most strong and brave after spending time with God in my Bible.

I pray that you the reader and even those who do not read this post will look to you God! We are mere humans made of clay, we don't have all the answers BUT YOU do Lord. We give you permission to be Lord, which means to rule and reign, over our lives. God search our hearts and blot out the things that are not pleasing to you. May you recieve all the glory from our actions and speech. Humble us Lord, help us to become teachable to You. God I pray that you release your spirit of comfort over those who are mourning and in pain for You promised "blessed are they that mourn for they shall be comforted." Help us to see You working in our lives and help us fully grasp the concept that You are working everything together for the good of us who love You. We love you and we need you. We invite you to have Your way and let Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus name. Amen.
